patients who five years ago used to come here
to be treated 1t seemed to me nearly half Of

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. s-There Is going to

OF carrying the State. The row in this city is
the thing. 1t originated In grab for spells.
Under tho now city charter the employment Of
tho old Republican bosses-McManes, Lane,

and the city administration is sIuarely against
them. William r. Leeds saw his opportunity
In the Sheriff's Office. He broke away from
Mechanics and Lane and captured the nomina-
ton. He had long been Chairman Of the City
Committee, and had all the election machinery
in his hands. Mechanics might have made q
fight. but did not dare to. He realized that
should he capture the Convention, Leeds in his
wrath would slaughter his. candidate mt the
polls and virtually sain the victory. Now every

ALL READY TO BUILD.
The Ways Selected for the New Cruiser
Over In Brooklyn.


The new steel cruiser to be constructed in
the Brooklyn Navy Yard is to be 1915 feet in
length and 81 feet beam. That Is about all
that is known about it yet at the yard. as the
plans and particulars have not yet been sent
from Washington. The news that she was to
be built in the yard was scarcely twenty-four
hours old yesterday. but Naval Constructor
Samuel II. Pook was well along In his prepar-
lions for the work. The ways selected are
those under the shed that was built over the old
Colossus. They were chosen not on account Of
the cover. but on account Of the foundation.
